VAN MORRISON
Hi ha músics que són un continent ells sols, gegants impossibles d’etiquetar. Un d’ells és, sens dubte, Van Morrison, que, ¡finalment!, debutarà al nostre festival a punt de fer 81 anys i després de més de 60 anys de carrera. Nascut el 1945, l’anomenat Lleó de Belfast va créixer escoltant la col·lecció de discos del seu pare, apassionat del blues, el country i el gospel.
Noms com Hank Williams, Jimmie Rodgers, Muddy Waters, Mahalia Jackson i Leadbelly van conformar el paisatge sonor de la seva infantesa abans de formar el seu primer grup, Them, el 1964. Ben aviat es va convertir en una estrella de l’escena britànica del R&B, amb discos com Astral Weeks (1968) i clàssics com Gloria i Here Comes The Night. Avui, Van Morrison continua al capdavant de la seva banda oferint música captivadora que evoca tots els colors del blues, del soul i del jazz. El seu últim disc, el molt emocionant Somebody Tried to Sell Me a Bridge, demostra que Van Morrison continua en plena forma i que el seu amor pel blues (amb homenatges a músics com B.B. King i la participació de Taj Mahal i Buddy Guy) continua intacte, com quan escoltava a casa seva els discos del pare. Van Morrison per primera vegada al Festival de Jazz de Barcelona. Història.
